Harriet and Sarah Brown are very important to the history of this district. Harriet married John Brock Fry and Sarah married Henry Green and together the families purchased their first land at Jerry’s Flat and built their first homes near the creek. This book details the history of Brown family from Wiltshire and their many Australian descendants.

“This book is an attempt to acknowledge the sacrifice made by the men from Forest Range/Lenswood. The list of names is derived from the Forest Range War Memorial and the Honor Roll at Lenswood Cold Stores. These were ordinary men; principally orchard workers who volunteered to serve their country, something they continued to do when those fortunate enough to do so, returned home.” — from Foreword.

History of the region with particular focus on the development of the Lenswood Cold Stores Cooperative Society Ltd. Published in 1984 the book was commissioned to record the history of those who settled and built the district.
